Child development: 3-4 years

In the course of this year (3 to 4 years old) children are moving out of babyhood into childhood. It is important to remember that all three to four year olds are different, and they may develop at different rates.

The Raising Children Network website has a lot of information about pre-schoolers, including information about development, behaviour, fitness, health and daily care. As well as articles there are several videos. The Raising Children Network site has been funded by the Australian Government.http://raisingchildren.net.au

The information on this site should not be used as an alternative to professional care. If you have a particular problem, see a doctor, or ring the Parent Helpline on 1300 364 100 (local call cost from anywhere in South Australia).
